The overall goal of this study is to provide an insight into the influence of poverty on student behaviour and academic achievement. Thus, poverty was seen as the state of one who lacks a usual or socially acceptable amount of money or material possession. Poverty is said to exist when people lacks the means to satisfy their basic needs. It was observed that situational poverty, generational poverty, absolute poverty, relative poverty, urban and rural poverty are types of poverty. Therefore, it was concluded that accidental, historical, political, international, social, individual, demographic, geographic and environmental are causes of poverty. It was therefore recommended that emotional and social challenges, acute and chronic stressors, cognitive lags, health and safety issue are the risk factors of poverty that affect the behaviour and academic achievement of students.
